Roy,

I do not think it is the ballistic numbers, I think its the sexy caliber names i.e. Remington Ultra Mag, Winchester Short Mag anything with magnum sells to these kind of people.

To be honest most of the guys I know who use magnum cartridge do not have a clues want the ballistic numbers mean. All they know is someone told them they could knock a deer off its feet at 500yds. with some magnum cartridge.
